Windows 10: Reactivate windows licence on VM

Hello,


I had installed win10 on VM, the host machine crashed and I had to install win10 from zero.


I didn't have Microsoft account at that time so i cant disassociate it from previous machine.


Is there any way I can get that license to work on my new VM or is it "burned"?

:)

 

Move Hyper-V VM Without Reactivating?

According to this (How do I avoid needing to activate Windows when I move a VM? [Hyper-V]) link it is possible to move a Hyper V VM to a new host without having to reactivate the guest OS by exporting
it and importing it. Are there any additional steps I should know about or is it as simple as find the export and then import (on the new host) options/buttons?

 

Windows 10 licence when used as VM

Thanks Elise,

Does the same still apply if we are selling remote access to this VM to our customer?

We will host the VM on our server in a data centre, and will subsequently host a service for the customer on the windows 10 VM.

Is the customer licenced to access this VM as well as us as the host?

Thanks.

Try this work around.

Change the machine name of the installation you are trying to activate to the one listed in the Activation Troubleshooter wizard.

Restart the VM then see if its activated.
